Configuring the LAN Console
The LAN Console can represent up to 256 consoles on RM or PRIMEPOWER
(MR) servers. When configuring the LAN Console for the first time, the known
console accesses, referred to as configuration entries, can be defined for at
least one RM or PRIMEPOWER (MR) server. This is done with the aid of the
mklancon
script specifying the type of RCA (
RCA Type
), the system name of the
RCA (
RCA SystemName
), the RCA port number to be used (
RCA PortNumber
) and
the console name (
ConsoleName
). The console name is the logical address of
the RM or PRIMEPOWER (MR) server that is to be administrated. It is advisable
to use the system name of the RM or PRIMEPOWER (MR) server as the
console name.
The
showlancon
script checks the configuration entries that are created. Config-
uration entries can be removed with the aid of
rmlancon
. If parameters need to
be changed for a configuration entry, this entry has to be deleted and recreated
with the new data.
Commands
For each of these commands there is a description that you can look up with “
man
command name
The commands available on the LAN Console including their description, are
exclusively related to the RCA4 as 16 port version.
